She was so frickin creepy
I watched it parachute to Earth this morning. Pretty neat.
Man, those government acronym writers pulled off a big one, figuring out how to subtly name the project, “King of the Underworld.” Ya get it? They’re claiming that Satan was the true creator of the Heavens and Earth, along the lines of gnostic Satanism.
>> This is cool as hell <<
Play on words? Osiris, god of the underworld?
It was poorly worded; N2 is relatively inert. It’s inert to be used in fire suppression.
Can’t say that I am fond of that mission’s name.
Set would be closer to what you are looking for. But still not quite there.
Apophis (which is the next asteroid to be sampled by the Osiris) is pretty much what you are looking for. A serpent of darkness and chaos.
And if it hits earth there would be lots of darkness and chaos but looks like that is pretty improbable.
Hope little Billy Gates does not get his hands on the contents. /sarc
Everybody got their squeeze handy...
Nitrogen in the air has triple bond with itself . As such it takes a lot of energy to break it apart. This is why it ends up in explosives so often. The energy it took to make other compounds is released when Nitrogen returns to its original triple bond . The German Chemist who figured out how to turn Nitrogen in the air into ammonia probably saved millions of lives because of the artificial fertilizer this helped create.
They finally released some news about this probe. Apparently on the outside of the sealed container there was some asteroid material as well. It looked a lot like coal. It had lots of carbon and even some water in it. Lots of neat stuff will be learned here !
